*settles in for a chat* how are you, sweetie?
1:36 am
sprite
rose! *hugs* Having some trouble keeping depression at bay, but otherwise good. And you?
1:39 am
grannyrose
going great, hun. paid out a small fortune for shoes with cushioning in the heels, to soften impact when walking at work. they are worth every cent.
1:40 am
sprite
YOU are worth every cent. WTG on the shoes. Good decision, rose.
1:40 am
grannyrose
oh, oh, forgot, i actually ran the other day at work....we had an emergency, and i just grabbed the resus cart and ran to the theatre. was gob-smacked when i realised what i had done.lol
1:41 am
sprite
omg! Woweeeee! Who'd have thought you could? Amazing :)
1:41 am
grannyrose
awww, not good about depression, hun. are you getting enough sun-shine at the moment?
1:42 am
sprite
yeah, finally sun here :) Might be a bit late for the depression, it sure was late calendar-wise. And there are some triggers active for the depression atm. So at least I understand what is happening ;)
1:43 am
grannyrose
i reckon we are all half chooks. they need sunlight on their retinas to lay eggs, we need sunlight on our retinas to help stay even-tempered, if you know what i mean.
1:44 am
sprite
too true! P-p-p-pock-pooooock!
1:45 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, sprite....in my anatrin, which i take for fibromyalgia, is an ingredient called 5-HTP. this is what i don't produce. 5-HTP is the precurser for serotonin, which i know you know is our mood stabiliser.
1:46 am
grannyrose
i wonder if you could get just that on it's own anywhere. i know it stops me from spemding most of my days in a howling heap in the corner.
1:46 am
sprite
yeah. I have antideps for that... mirtazapine and ... and....
1:47 am
grannyrose
mind you, if you were to ask himself, he would say rose is very unstable...lol
1:48 am
sprite
citalopran, that is the one.
1:48 am
sprite
they have no freakin' idea what unstable is, lol
1:49 am
grannyrose
lol, sprite, so true.....he has never seen me lose total control yet, and i hope he never will.
1:49 am
sprite
same here, grin. That would be the day.
1:50 am
flosey
clothes all dry, off to bed now, 35 for tomorrow

night night, flosey, happy dreams

hey, how about a play date, where we both lose control....
1:50 am

*wants to play with little rose*
1:51 am

of course, flosey!
1:51 am
grannyrose
the more the sadder, flosey. we can throw foam balls at one another
1:51 am
flosey
ty, off to bed now
1:51 am
grannyrose
but you have to supply your own tissues...
1:52 am
sprite
*brings rubber chickens*
1:54 am
puglet
Howdy to all you out there!
1:56 am
sprite
if we can't recu4, what is it that makes the hairdresser so rich?
1:58 am
grannyrose
hey puglet....lol, spritey. not rubber walls?????
1:59 am
sprite
that would be a good idea, rose. Rubber walls, rubber ducks, foam balls... lots of tissues... we are set.
2:00 am
grannyrose
yup.....now how to bring it all about.....can we wait a few years??? until my inheritance comes in?
2:01 am
puglet
sounds like you are gathering items for a magic act--lal
2:01 am
sprite
it would be magic :)
2:02 am
grannyrose
btw, himself and i went to the old family home, picked up my grandma's singer treadle sewing machine. it was all in bits, as my darling dad died before he could put it back together. he was restoring it for me
2:02 am
sprite
oh wow... worth restoring still. Those were the best ever.
2:02 am
grannyrose
well.....my clever husband has worked it out, and the machine is all in one piece, looking rather lovely in my loungeroom
2:03 am
sprite
awesome, rose!
2:03 am
puglet
how wonderful--Im glad for you
2:04 am
grannyrose
it works a dream. i le5ed to sew on it, and made all the clothes for my eldest on it, until he was 3 years old.
2:04 am
sprite
they are so strong. Real workers.
2:04 am
grannyrose
it has lots of wooden cu4y bits, and the machine itself is inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
2:05 am
grannyrose
dear old grandpa would have only bought the best for his beloved ella
2:05 am
sprite
sounds like a happy memory to have in the living room, rose
2:07 am
grannyrose
will eventually put it in the entrance hall, by the front door.
2:07 am
sprite
lounge room, sorry
2:08 am
sprite
place of honour, that is :)
2:08 am
grannyrose
sprite, the two names are pretty much interchangeable in ozland. we do a lot of living in our loungerooms. ;)
2:12 am
grannyrose
oh, good, i made spritey smile.
2:13 am
grannyrose
*sigh* my job is done...lol
2:13 am
sprite
you sure did. Thanks dear one :)
2:15 am
grannyrose
lovely and quiet here at home. mother mac has gone into respite for a week. did i tell you what don did? he gave her a wireless doorbell to press anytime she needs him.
2:16 am
sprite
that is smart!
2:17 am
grannyrose
he now regrets it, as she is on it every 1/2 hour....and when he goes into her, she has about 1/2 hour's worth of 'things' for him to do. poor man...he swears she sits there trying to work out what she wants him to do...
2:17 am
sprite
lololllll yep, smart mother mac. He will have to draw the line somewhere.
2:17 am
grannyrose
so long as he does not expect me to run up and down to her it's okay...
2:18 am
sprite
well he may even expect. As long as he doesn't get it!
2:18 am
grannyrose
i think it might disappear during this bout of respite. *giggle* "well, where did you leave it, mum?"
2:19 am
sprite
lolollllll
2:19 am
grannyrose
naughty aren't i? her short term memory is so bad.
2:20 am
sprite
yeah well, you both are doing wonders for her. I think it is healthy you keep it within reasonable boundaries.
2:22 am
grannyrose
so, is the sun shining over there yet today?
2:23 am
puglet
too bad you cant get a robot to answer her bell

2:24 am
grannyrose

2:26 am
grannyrose
granny's advice to her beloved spritey. get out of doors, sweetie. feel the sunshine and breeze on your skin, and revel in it
2:26 am
puglet
what about you Rose? How was your weather
2:26 am
sprite
will do, rose, promise.
2:28 am
grannyrose
pretty nice, thanx puglet. typical autmn/fall day, brilliant sunshine, and a nip in the air. how long that japanese person is going to stay in the air, is anybodies guess. lol
2:28 am
grannyrose
went out for morning coffee and lunch with a dear friend. sat in the sunshine, and solved all the world's problems.
2:29 am
sprite

2:29 am
grannyrose

2:34 am
grannyrose
go and enjoy the beautiful day, my love.
2:34 am
puglet
that was nice Rose
2:35 am
grannyrose
puglet, i would take them to work, but they are a lot of selfish gits. ( a few aren't) and they spoil it for the rest.
2:37 am
puglet
that too bad but I know what you mean
2:38 am
puglet
I got to go to the courthouse today to get our taxes straighten up. Somehow they got the wronge address and so on
2:39 am
grannyrose
i 'donate' a bag of candy every week, leave it out for all to have some, by the end of the first day, the whole kilo(2 pounds) of it has gone.
2:40 am
grannyrose
yuck, puglet. not a nice way to spend your day. hope you can sort it out as quickly as possible, hun. i just hate red tape.
2:40 am
puglet
are you the only one that donates
2:41 am
grannyrose
not to mention the 4 boxes of Tic Tacs....but i put them away when i leave
2:41 am
puglet
yeah I know---Ive only lived here for thirty years--lal
2:42 am
grannyrose
yes, puglet. there are jellybeans, which the unit pays for, as well.
2:43 am
grannyrose
but my guess is, if you are just standing more or less in the one spot for hours on end, you would probably feel entitled to a treat or two when you can finally move around.
2:43 am
puglet
Rose, I couldnt resist - I found a clearence sale on some purple smoke trees(3$ ea) and I bought 3 --now I dont know where to put them--lal
2:44 am
grannyrose
ummm, how about my front yard????
2:45 am
puglet
I would share with you if I could
2:46 am
puglet
I also bought a flowering cabbage and kale plant---never have had either--but I seen some last year in someone's yard and wanted to try them once
2:47 am
grannyrose
puglet, the trees look rather large, do you have the room for them?
2:48 am
grannyrose
but according to google, ebay has them for just under $3. so what yopu have is a bargain
2:49 am
puglet
I live on an acrea here but I got 12 acres over on the next road that we use as a small camping area--so I got room its just where
2:50 am
grannyrose
they grow to 10-15 feet tall, hun
2:50 am
grannyrose
just don't plant them under any power lines, okay?
2:51 am
puglet
ok I wont---Have you ever grown the flowering cabbage and kale
2:52 am
grannyrose
no, i haven't, but they look really interesting. i think you would have to provide them with similar conditions to the vegetables.
2:53 am
puglet
thats how I was going plant and care for them---the tag gives very little imfo
2:54 am
puglet
Im not sure how big they get though--the ones I seen last year were pretty good size
2:57 am
grannyrose
puglet, try looking up how to care for the vegetables, and i think you will have a pretty good idea on how to take care of the flowering versions.
2:59 am
puglet
okay Rose I will.--Hubby just brought in our first newly hatched chick--its so cute
2:59 am
grannyrose
the 'tips for growing ornamental cabbage' site says they are low growing. see if you can access it.
2:59 am
grannyrose
awww, puglet, what a thrill!!!
3:00 am
puglet
Thank you --I will
3:01 am
puglet
we got 11 more to go
3:01 am
puglet
I love watching the hens with their chicks
3:05 am
grannyrose
lol, just threw my beloved a wobbly....i asked him why, if we have full comprehensive insurance through a private insurance company, why do we still have to pay third party insurance when we re-register our cars?
3:06 am
puglet
and did he have an answer for you on that
3:08 am
grannyrose
nope, the jury is still out...i wonder if the fact his eye-balls are spinning in their sockets has anything to do with it?
3:10 am
puglet
Man it just started pouring! another wet day I guess
3:11 am
puglet
Rose I bet you are a real corker--lal
3:12 am
grannyrose
lol, puglet. don't you ever do that to your beloved...i just love the completely blank expression which crosses their face.
3:13 am
puglet
giggles--I bet you do Rose
3:13 am
grannyrose
ugh, puglet.....oh, well, mayhap the rain is welcome? spare a thought for us.....we have had another very dry summer
3:14 am
grannyrose
puglet, cu4 up with a favourite or a new book, and blissfully slide away into another world....works for me.
3:15 am
puglet
I like the rain myself--the last 2 summers we have had droughts so its really a blessing
3:15 am
puglet
got it --thanks
3:16 am
puglet
so you are in fall as we are in spring--is that right
3:16 am
grannyrose
yeah, puglet, we are on the same wave-length....i like the rain, but must have some sunshine in between.
3:16 am
grannyrose
yes, hun.
3:17 am
puglet
I agree on the sunshine--its like a smile or wrapped in the arms of the one above
3:19 am
puglet
Iam not a hot weather person at all--as I burn very easily
3:19 am
grannyrose
ohhhh, puglet, you don't know how close you are to my heart, hun
3:19 am
puglet
Iam always hot and hubby is always cold-lal
3:21 am

3:21 am
puglet
Shack? (sorry hit the wrong button)

3:24 am
puglet

3:26 am
puglet
I use to read ALOT but dont do so as much now--But I do love a good story
3:26 am
grannyrose
ahhh, will definitely look for it, do you remember the author?
3:27 am
puglet
sorry but I dont
3:27 am
puglet
It was very popular here so you shouldnt have any trouble finding it
3:28 am
puglet
they had several sites on the computer with talking to others about it
3:29 am
grannyrose
have you ever read 'dear and beloved physician' by taylor caldwell? it's the story of st luke...part fiction, part fact...absolutely fascinating.
3:30 am
puglet
Rose Im sorry if I talk too much-hope Im not putting you out
3:30 am
puglet
no I havent but I will try to find it
3:30 am
grannyrose

3:31 am
grannyrose
from me....
3:32 am
puglet
I do feel peaceful talking here--thank you

smores

5:32 am
MollyL
I have to ask, what does one keep almond milk around for?
5:33 am
smores
the couple I was assisting last week gave me a 1/2 gallon of it along with some other item they can no longer have
5:35 am
smores
it's okay plain, my daughter likes it...especially with a squirt of chocolate :)
5:35 am
MollyL
Ah, it's "a healthy alternative to animal and soy milks". No wonder I've never heard of it. : D
5:36 am

Hello molly, I agree, logged on, saw it was a small one..should have checked the content first. :-(
4:34 pm

Jill, someone told me today that they were considering the HCG diet, but that the shots were too expensive. True or false?
5:07 pm
Jillyjill
Not cheap....around $200 for 27 days
5:07 pm
cybernan
not the fish, molly - the fish basket
5:07 pm
MollyL
Nan, are you looking for the sharply ironed fold in pants?
5:07 pm
crosshair
The Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of hCG for dieting (or any reason other than fertility), but you can still get it with a prescription from your doctor. Since insurance doesn't cover the hCG diet, it can get pretty expensive. A visit for your initial consultation may cost you around $150, and then you'll probably have to have to pay about $10 for each injection on top of that. Some versions of the diet also encourage the use of appetite suppressants, including daily injections of stimulants, such as phentermine. If you're going to add these to your regimen, you'll have to factor in the price of them as well. Then, of course, you'll have to pay for any follow-up visits. And if you don't lose sufficient weight when you do the diet, after a six-week rest period your doctor might recommend you do it all over again
5:08 pm
cybernan
yes - ty molly
